Bandsaw Blade Material Guides & Applications:

Carbon Bandsaw Blades

Ideal for wood production cutting as well as short production maintenance applications using low alloy steel and non-ferrous metals.

These carbon steel blades are manufactured from a single piece of high carbon steel with individually hardened tooth tips. The flexible back makes them more fatigue resistant. They are an inexpensive blade to purchase but offer a higher cost per cut than bi-metal blades on metal on tougher to cut materials.

Applications

  • Wood
  • Plastic
  • Cork
  • Composition Board
  • Plywood
  • Aluminum
  • Non-ferrous Metals
  • Low Alloy Steel
Carbon Furniture Bandsaw Blades

Ideal for use on large high speed vertical cutting machines used in the furniture industry.

A special ETS set pattern and aggressive 10° hook tooth design gives these blades the ability to cut faster with longer tip life. They are manufactured from a single piece of high carbon steel with individually hardened tooth tips. The flexible backs resist fatigue. At the same time they offer the required precision and contour control required in furniture manufacturing. These blades can be re-sharpened for even greater value.

Applications

  • Wood
  • Chipboard
  • Plywood
  • Cardboard
Scallop Edge Bandsaw Blades

Designed to slice smoothly and quickly leaving no kerf or waste, no dust.

Designed to cut more compact materials such as rubber, transformer coils, paperboard, cloth, dense foams, and fabric. Scallop blades are also used in cutting food products like boneless meat and bread, additionally used on packaging film and foil. Our standard scallop blade is double beveled and manufactured with a 1/2" pitch.

Applications

  • Dense Foams
  • Food: Meats/Breads
  • Rubber
  • Packaging
Butcher Bandsaw Blades

Designed for fast, clean cuts producing higher yields.

This butcher bandsaw blade featuring hardened teeth for long cutting life for food processing. This specialty designed blade helps lower cutting costs by yeilding fast clean cuts with less waste. This butcher blade is produced from a special high carbon steel. Thear are precision sharpened and hardened.

Applications

  • Meat
  • Poultry
  • Fish
M42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blades

Rugged production blades to cut solids and heavy walled structures as well as hard-to-machine materials.

These blades feature M42 High Speed Steel edges, electron beam welded to a fatigue-resistant tool steel backer. They are most often used on medium to heavy production machines to cut solids and heavy-walled structures.

Applications

  • Production Cutting Solids and Heavy Wall Structures
  • Stainless Steel
  • Inconel
  • Monel
  • Other Work Hardening Grades
  • Medium to Heavy Production Machines
Matrix Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blades

These general purpose production blades are ideal for cutting materials with easy to moderate machinability.

They efficiently handle solids, shapes, tubing, and structural materials as well as bundled and stacked pieces. These bi-metal blades have Matrix II High Speed Steel cutting edges, electron beam welded to alloy steel backers.

Applications

  • Interrupted cuts like pipes, tubing, angle iron, and channel
  • General purpose metal cutting in maintenance shops and small fabricating shops
  • Small and medium size band saw machines
Wavy Edge Bandsaw Blades

Designed for fast, smooth, highly finished cuts.

The wavy edge blade has a standard 3/4" pitch and standard sizes are double beveled. For slicing fairly compact materials that offer increased resistance to cutting materials such as woven fabric, rigid foam, and felt. In use, the wavy edge blade gently imparts a slight shock to the cutting action resulting in fast, smooth and finely finished cuts.

Applications

  • Woven Fabric
  • Felt
  • Filter Material
  • Fish Filleting
  • Hosing Material
  • Fiberglass Insulation
